The LDCCW consists of more than 22,000 women involved in their parishes and towns in humanitarian, religious, pastoral and educational endeavors. The work of the LDCCW directly effects not only the local parish and each family, but also impacts the state and national scene as well as the needs of the missions and the poor around the world. Thus the vision and scope of the LDCCW is at one and the same time local and global. (The LDCCW is a member of the National Council of Catholic Women, NCCW.org.)
All females over age 18 are considered a member of your Parish Council of Catholic Women (PCCW) in your church. We encourage to become an active member of the LDCCW, on either your PCCW or Deanery level. Please reach out to your PCCW (Altar Society) president. They can provide information about the LDCCW and how you can get involved. To find the president of your local Altar Society/PCCW, contact your local parish priest who will put you in touch with the president. The president can provide information about the various commissions within each PCCW which carry out the work of the LDCCW. The presidents can also provide information about the locations and times of the Parish Council of Catholic Women meetings, as well as deanery and diocesan LDCCW meetings.
